The heart of NOLAServeUS. From tapping the Report tab to submission — here's the whole thing, in five steps. It takes about a minute.

Tap the Report tab (the ⊕ in the bottom bar), then choose what's wrong from the grid — pothole, streetlight, flooding, illegal dumping, and more. NOLAServeUS automatically routes it to the right city department.

Optionally pick a sub-type (like “single pothole” or “cluster”) and set how bad it is — Minor, Moderate, or Severe. You'll also see the department it routes to and the response target.

Snap or attach up to four photos. It's optional, but photos speed up verification — a neighbor can confirm your report at a glance, which is what gets it delivered to the city faster.

Type the street address or drag the pin on the map to the exact spot. This is what puts your report in the right place on the neighborhood map — and in the right council district.

Tap Submit. Your report goes on the map and into the neighborhood feed instantly. Once a neighbor verifies it, it's handed to the city's 311 system with a tracking number — and you can follow every update until it's fixed.
